湖南省区域经济差异及时空格局特征

DISPARITIES AND TEMPORAL-SPATIAL STRUCTURE CHARACTERISTICS OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN HUNAN PROVINCE

区域经济差异是一种客观存在的经济与社会现象,适度的差异对宏观经济发展有积极的推动作用,但差异过大不仅对区域社会经济发展产生危害,而且关系到社会的稳定和可持续发展。20世纪90年代以来,作为全国,也是中部地区的农业大省,湖南省经济发展总体水平迅速提升,但省域内区域经济差异也发生了显著的变化。以计量统计为基础,分析了湖南省区域经济差异变化的时间特征,并采用因子分析法和GIS技术,通过建立综合评价指标体系,探讨了湖南区域经济差异的空间格局特征。在此基础上,分析了区域差异的成因。并提出了协调湖南省区域经济发展的对策建议。

The disparity of regional economic development is a kind of impersonal phenomenon existing in economy and society. Appropriate disparity can promote the development of macro-economy; however, great disparity is harmful for the development of regional economy,and even can affect the stability and sustainable development of the society. Since the 1990s, Hunan Province, one of the main agricultural provinces in China,has developed very rapid with the increase of economic aggregate and the strengthening of regional competitiveness. Whereas, the disparity of regional economic development has also become more and more obvious,needing to be paid great attention. Based on statistical economic data of Hunan Province in recent years, and through calculation of statistical parameters and variation coefficients, the general characteristics of temporal changes of regional economic development in the Province were analyzed. And by adopting fac- tor analysis method and based on the establishment of integrated evaluation index system, the spatial pattern and its variation process of Hunan Province were also discussed. Based on the above analysis,it was in- dicated that the causes of disparities mostly consisted in differences of physical environments and locations, social culture, science and technology and education, historical and economic bases, policies and investment directions,and so on. Finally, the authors put forward some countermeasures to control the regional economic disparities and promote the harmonious development of different regions.
